What is IDLE? What is it supposed to do?
I've found this file :

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/idle
("idle" in lowercase, not "IDLE" in uppercase)

It contains:

> #!/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/python
>
> from idlelib.PyShell import main
> main()

When I run it, I get the following output:

> Traceback (most recent call last):

What does it mean? What is missing? Does it mean Python was not  
compiled for Pyhton? Where should this "_tkinter" module be?
I know I've got Tcl/Tk installed.

Any help welcome :-)
